Please refer FA 2006, Musculoskeletal Anatomy, p# 313.
Topic : Epithelial cell junctions.

It has all the answer we need in this regard I suppose.

Let us know.

Rock,
Thanks for the quick response. Guess after all kap book, Fa has same 4 types, just BRS put it in 3 together then gap junction is another one,but all still under lat. surface. In DVD kap kind of he talks not clear, but I will take it as 4, cause kap notes, Fa all say 4 types indirectly.
I leave FA as last to read so have not run into it yet.
Thanks rock.
GL, happy studynodnodnod
